I’m really glad we can finally have these conversations.
we have had those conversations for decades...
Art Bell Coast 2 Coast
@@karimshebeika8010 You know what he means, so why bother?
agreed agreed, this was a fantastic segment
@@Len124 what does he mean?
Because of the expansion of space they are traveling the galaxy to find life and build warp gates that allow all civilizations to stay connected. No matter how much space expands. They are also here to get the recipe for the Chick-fil-A chicken sandwiches and Taco Bell’s Baja Blast drink.
The best item at Chick-fil-A is the breakfast burrito with jalapeno sauce fight me.
how is this not the top comment
ROTFALMAO on the Chick Fillet. Game…Set…Match!
Sounds like the Mass Relays in the video game Mass Effect. I think those were built over millions of years by the baddies though…
Baja California is a Beutiful part of Mexico.
I recommend watching the entire interview. One of the most mind expanding discussions I have ever heard.
@WHITEFRANK thanks for coming on here to shit on someone else's opinion
Ever???
You haven't seen enough then.
@WHITEFRANK Your own journey whilst more progressed, bypassed empathy.
@WHITEFRANK One day your lungs nd heart won't move anymore, as won't mine. Until then, I wish you all the best stranger.
@WHITEFRANK :)
What an InsightFul Convo!
Imagine if an alien came down to earth and had the same shirt as this guy
Ok I’m imagining it. Now what
They would likely be more advanced so it would include a pocket protector!
Haha, I would assume they were probably not nefarious and more on the good side.
That would be comforting. If in a suit I would be worried. But a robe of some sort would probably be more universally accepted. Not like the Dude but then again, yeah, like the Dude.
Panspermia Siblings makes the most sense out of every other theory i've heard.
UFO conversations are turning lately to be more serious, more intelligent and more people are opening to the possibility, this seems to be happening really fast.
all it took was a couple guys like Elizondon and an official Pentagon release. we are ready to talk about it, maybe soon to get a whole new level of disclosure.
i expect there are many levels
Seems to be but not one shred of evidence and once congress asks to visit S 4 and the alien crafts, that's when they say, BYE BYE, your investigation is over. And then we will wait another 40 years to start the cycle over again to no avail. They won't tell us until about another 100 years,
@@nmarbletoe8210 We have always posited there were others, but so far, we are completely alone. We can look for billions of light years and see no sign of anyone. If you give us another billion years, we will be spread across this galaxy. So it is curious that there are no signs of anyone.
We very likely will find fossils of ancient primitive life on Mars,or even living organisms, or in the seas of Jupiter and Eastern Moons.
But pilots seeing lights means little.
@@paulbedichek5177 about 30 million people in the US have seen a UFO. the identity is usually not apparent. one mystery is why we see the here but not among the stars or other planets!
they may not be alien. also, maybe aliens don't leave large tech signatures. Earth's radio signature is smaller now than in the 1950s if i recall. efficiency increases over time...
The logic leaps and how far they are taken is amazing here.
Sort of comes with the territory, no?
@@soulfuzz368 True. I feel like it’s much more likely that we’re a set up and that’s why they aren’t discovering us or deciding to communicate. We’re an experiment or project or product. Their managing the planet. The logic being how narrow our habitable bands are and the whole Goldilocks situation. Too good to be random. But we presuppose panspermia and evolution.
It's pretty amazing they overlook the glaring obvious fact that if they were so serious about enforcing this "rule" they would never be here to begin with because taking a chance with even the most minute possible probability of being discovered by another civilization would in fact, break the rule.
Ya you should check out the thought experiment by Einstein about relativity. Shit would blow your mind, considering it seems like you lack the ability to think outside the box….
@@joshcantrell8397 ok thw concepts he came up with there was actually testable at some point and this is not. This is 100% pure speculation. I hope your gigantic brain doesn't get in the way of seeing that one glaring distinction.
This is pretty brilliant. No matter if its right or wrong its a very intresting series of concepts.
Its pure made up horseshit
Hanson is highly underrated. He should be much more famous than he is.
Maybe they've showing us their impressive technology as a means to inspire us. They're effectively destroying the notion that we have physics "figured out", which could quash our complacency with our current models
but there is no "complacency with our current models". there are thousands of videos of physicists explaining how and where the current physical models are incomplete.
I make no claim to be smart or understand it but I'm under the impression that new discoveries causes lots of areas of physics to have the math redone. Everyone wants to be the person the prove something widely accepted is wrong. It's a way to progress their careers. I wouldn't bet on complacency vs persons vanity and/or desire for more money.
The hubris of insisting we have it figured out has always been so foolish.
Why inspire us to be more technologically advanced? I feel like if those were there motives they would have assisted us in doing so, or flat out given us there knowledge I do like the idea that they like us enough to try and inspire us, however don’t really think that’s the case
@@Wowreally42 Reminds me of Lord Kelvin's comments
Great conversation. This is what removing the stigma allows us to do - have thoughtful conversations about possibilities.
Wow, What astounding, unique ideas! The potential "panspermia siblings" scenario having been seeded in a local stellar nursery feels like such a likely & reasonable possibility to me. Fascinating, groundbreaking & just plain fun to listen to! My hats off to both of you gentlemen, please continue shining an educated & creative light on topics like these! 👍
Look up dolares Johnson. She says how they cannot intervene. When humanity is ready for the next step they simply gift us technology. They don't care who gets to it first. They cannot intervene but indirect interaction is not intervention. I believe they would intervene if all humanity was against extinction
the idea is at least 75 years old.
Sound like BS
I like the way this conversation headed ,bring that guy more ,he has some interesting perspective
This is such a cool conversation ❤️
The best episode I've seen yet had to come back for a refresh
Just want to say what an amazing conversation 🤯
"My hypothesis is..."
Bro this isn't something you have a hypothesis on its completely unhinged from any data you could possibly test, it's call a speculation and a pretty wild one tbh
I've never considered this possibility before. Very intriguing.
Fun to listen to! Anything can be possible and I guess that is the fun in this conversation.
One of the best discussion on the matter.. omg that was full of dense content. Amazing, thank you.....
Wow , this is now top of all podcasts moments, very deep and profound 👌
Guided by the ideas presented here can we assume first contact will absolutely occur with an AI system and not human? Would aliens not ensure they immediately or preemptively interacted with what will very likely surpass human cognitive capacity and present a greater risk of grabbyness?
Interesting thought.
A.i. tech came from aliens and I agree. I think it be the bridge with the communication barrier too
All of these assumptions fail because they don't take into account the spiritual/metaphysical nature of ET encounters. At this point we have literally millions of witness testimony reports about what they are, what they want and so on.
People are having similar experiences across time, location, background.
Ancient religions describe their nature and intentions.
Its only in modernity that we are so arrogant (the last 200 years) to think we know better than all of humanity for all of time before us.
Already happened
Although I'm sure they are capable of connecting through ai, I suspect telepathy is probably the most likely method of communication. Similarly to what the other person said, I suspect encounters are more along the metaphysical realm. If they are ancient, I would imagine communication would be more inuitive than technological.
This is a fascinating discussion!
This was brilliant. Looking for the matching spectrum stars
personally have not heard this topic covered in this perspective (pansermia). pretty fascinating and interesting, cool shit.
This is the most compelling argument I’ve heard for this explanation, which as of this moment is impossible to explain. Cheers to Robin for his brilliant mind and to Lex for helping him to make his argument mainstream.
So many of his hypotheses are based on outrageously arbitrary assumptions. He just decides it takes 10 million years to become grabby or not? Based on what? And how does he know the time frame in which a grabby civilization can "fill the galaxy and beyond" of 100 million years? Maybe I'm missing some very based and sound logic that he explains elsewhere but this seems like a whole lot of baseless assumptions supported by agreeable conclusions (but only reasonable if you grant the assumptions)
@@biggerbadger4417 There is some math behind it but it is all based on assumptions at the end of the day. There is no other way.
Fantastic clip
Hey Lex! I'm curious, when you close your eyes in order to get the proper words and/or structure formulated before you say it, are you actively visualizing something? Or are you simply shutting out visual stimuli in order to concentrate?
I ask, as I am an Aphant and I still close my eyes to get concentration as well lol. For me it's just reducing the impact of anything that can prohibit my thought process.
You are inferring a bit too much from very little information we have. Your hypothesis is quite presumptuous. With that said, I like that you dare to explore these possibilities. I certainly would not have on my own. Keep exploring, I’ll listen. Thanks for sharing.
"Your hypothesis is quite presumptuous"
@@erebusrealm Which literally means before a sumptuous, so like an appetizer?
In any case hypotheses are welcome to be bold and even unlikely, as long as they are testable; as gfresh said let's dare!
I'll be watching you, and nobody cares.
I love his statistical breakdown of the "prior probabilities". I think it is a good explanation, as to why people get hooked on the subject, despite the seeming craziness of it. There are just too many coincidences.
When I was 12 years old I was less than a mile away from one of the largest air bases in the world and I saw a massive black triangle sitting still in the sky, along with at least a dozen other people. Ever since then I come back to the subject every couple of months
@@aeriagloris4211 I have seen two unexplainable things in the sky too. I believe you.
@@connectedcalcat7558 what did you see?
@@aeriagloris4211 I've seen something that looked like a satellite moving in a straight line across a starry sky. then it started changing directions on angles without changing speed, kind of drawing geometric shapes, and then it kind of blinked/flashed and was gone, I had a sense that it went in a direction like a very brief light trail away. I've since read quite a few accounts of seeing very similar things, and the people I was with at the time still remember it.
@@aeriagloris4211 the black triangle sounds amazing !
I have an alternative to this, in place of enforcing a non-grabby policy. That is, to enforce an invisible expansion policy. I.e. you're allowed to expand but only if you use FTL or non visible drive mechanisms. This keeps underdeveloped species from understanding how many possible intelligent species are in the universe. This would be significantly harder to enforce though
This guy has set the bar pretty high for who should I listen to in regard to UFO/aliens.
Jacques Vallee
Their behavior reminds me of how wild life photographers or scientists integrate themselves on the edge of a pack so the pack doesn't find them threatening but still get to observe somewhat naturalistic behavior.
This brings up the slight possibility that they might have been observing us for a long time and now just have gotten a little lazy to the brains back home and AI protocol hasn't changed yet.
I like your analogy about wild life photographer but I don't think an Alien civilization would get lazy and that's how we notice them. I think our reasoning and technology has evolved. We may have been calling them Gods or Angels thousands of years ago with their " chariot of fire". I do believe that one day they will make direct contact and I have a suspicion of why they haven't yet.
@@kandoundou23 the ancient aliens theory is fascinating. If it's true through, the hypothesis purposed here will have more strength but also a bit of warning or error on their part.
You don't want the animals you're observing to change their behavior overly much. Let alone establish entire religions killing each other because of your error.
I think it's perfectly reasonable to assume that aliens are just as fallible as humans. The bigger we get the bigger our f-ups why should they be excused?
@@nicoledickens2366. Aliens seem to have had a head start judging by their advance technology. Let’s imagine if they are 1 million years older than us, I doubt that they would be just as fallible as humans. However you touched on why I don’t think they’ll make direct contact with us just yet. About 85% of the world identify with a religion. Aliens would be called demons if they ever made direct contact now. That percentage needs to be lowered before any direct contact.
@@kandoundou23 of course they are fallible. Nothing is ever truly immortal and mortality fragile, it is the vulnerability of death and the fear of it that motivates us. To lose that you lose perspective and no matter how long lived space elves may be - entropy is coming for the entire universe.
@@nicoledickens2366 They’re are fallible but like Robin said, if they wanted to observe us without ever being detected they would have done it. I think it’s a deliberate decision by them to be seen and not a lazy mistake.
this is a great analysis of the uap subject, taking into assumption they are indeed extraterrestrial. its touching on the game theory with occams razor.
Mr. Hanson is brilliant. I want to hear more on just about anything he thinks about.
Wonderful. Distance and time are the mountains to climb. They ponder this in rare form.
Has anyone seen the story about the children in Zimbabwe that saw an alien craft and little people step out on ground at recess when all the teachers were inside and every interview of these kids is solid in their experiences. Hard to teach little kids to lie, especially as a large group. Just throwing that out there. Very interesting
Like in every other part of Earth.... And BTW chieldren do lie, and lie a lot!
@@MrPaSSke there's a whole documentary about it. Watch it for yourself and see what you think.
Could you link me to the documentary? That story is indeed very interesting
@@henriquematias1986 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariel_School_UFO_incident
@@henriquematias1986 th-cam.com/video/q8pymWSKAPQ/w-d-xo.html
So, rather than answering the question about the likelihood of a spec on a video being alien life, this devolved (almost immediately) into a conversation about aliens having some rule about not allowing anyone to leave their planet.
The theory from the guest is bizarre. “They don’t want us to expand so they show up in grainy low quality video.”
🙉🙉
@@darustrutna Maybe it's like the one-way mirrors at the zoo
@@darustrutnaIt’s based on a pretty good paper he and his colleagues published. Have a look at it sometime.
This talk is so fascinating
I love this interview. Thank you.
Imagine you find out you have siblings you never knew about. How careful would you be to research them before you introduce yourself?
Dip that toe - Beignet Mitch
Honestly i feel like not very much, if I found out I had a sibling I would arrange a meeting and go from there I don’t think everyone would research a lot either. Weirdly I would assume they were a good person as they are related
Very interesting and should I say, fascinating. I think more of this kind of brainstorming should be done as more evidence comes in. Thanks, David
Very interesting, and clever, hypotheses!
Love this! Thank You!
The same math used in transformation optics like cloaking, which bends and refracts light for invisibility is the same math for bending spacetime into the same "lensing" effect (transformation electromagnetics)
yes that is a wild fact
Reminds me of a case where the person said he felt intense love and it was like meeting family. Then great sadness when they left.
Well, considering they'd be more distantly related than anything on Earth, I think I'd probably feel the same sense of kinship one might have toward a bug or when petting a sponge. You know, family reunion vibes.
@@Len124 I love my spongy and buggy brethren. and when possible stop to kindly watch and help (where applicable, turning a flipped-over beetle, etc)
Cool theory! I never thought of it like that but it makes a lot of sense! 😀
This. This is the content we need.
Their version of neuralink made it impossible for them to try to expand or travel intergalactically.
Thank you, Robin for your hypotheses and your perspective. It makes perfect sense to me.
Thank you , Robin your hypothesis is a interesting conversation that I will save on my you tube videos . I will now do some yoga . Robin I will watch this video again after my day is done . Robin, thank you for your perspective
Would be interested in hearing the perspective of why they are interested in our military throughout history
Wow never thought of it that way
Being that there were a couple different sightings of ufo’s above the White House in 1952 and we responded by sending fighter planes probably didn’t seem like a great neighborly welcome to them.
Right, or much of Project Blue Book. Wht don't these two or people on this thread actually do some research into the subject? Even Joe Rogan's recent interview with Michiu Kako was far more informed than this drivel. His interviews with UFO witnesses David Fravor and Patrick Walton were light years ahead of this. The evidence of alien contact is overwhelming as is also the evidence for a secret space program funded by the black budget (search for Richard Sauder's work on that.)
@@adamhurter6454 I do appreciate that the conversation is becoming more mainstream and that Lex is diving in a bit more, but I agree that most people who talk about UFOs should do their research. Even on Rogan, it was mentioned how the flight characteristics would turn us into pudding, yet not enough are considering the possibility that these craft may not be affected by inertia, given their means of propulsion.
You would think interstellar space travelers could be more diplomatic.
@@zprep4707 the PBS Spacetime episode The New Warp Drive was very interesting in that respect
@@nmarbletoe8210 Will definitely check that one out. Thank you!
Why did I have a feeling a lot of people wouldn't like this guy lol
One of my favs Lexs guests talking about this topic, all of it not just this clip
Closed minds unfortunately.
I didn’t like this guy - he seemed way too caught up in his own “hypothesis”. When Lex brought up alternative viewpoints he was very dismissive and basically unable to engage with any other ideas. Classic crackpot trait.
@@stevenqirkle yea he seemed too marrow minded and too into his own theory as you said. He also takes such a human approach to how aliens would think which I think is fundamentally wrong. When he said "why didn't the aliens eradicate us, oh it must be because they have empathy like us"... Sure they could be empathetic but do you go out of your way to kill every bug you see when you go on a trip to another country? Maybe they are only interested in surveying our planet and/or its resources. Maybe they are just planning to infiltrate our society and enslave us (wack idea ik) in which case they would need us alive. Maybe they are studying us and would obviously need to leave us alive for that. In the first place humans have empathy but we are also predators fundamentally, we can and have shown throughout history that we can be ruthless to our own species even with "empathy". There are so many possible scenarios and he chooses a single, very human point. And he does this throughout the whole pod. Such a small frame of thinking. This guy's a nut job that wants only his ideas to be "right". What a silly man, I can tell he thinks highly of himself, it was funny to see. Not to discredit his idea for all we know he could have hit it right on the head, I just found it silly how he didn't consider any other ideas or possibilities because he has no proof for what he said meaning all scenarious are in the realm of possibility and he only managed consider one (his own idea at that). Guys like this are why manh scientists don't take ufos seriously (although that is changing recently and im sure will continue to in the coming decades).
Because he has a face-punching demeanor and thinks he's the expert about something nobody can prove. It's purely intellectual.
Should be titled “Couple of aliens having a chat”
Veeeery interesting perspective from this guy
its unlikely that aliens are visiting us from other planets, but more likely from other dimensions
Like what dimensions?
says a guy, completely guessing
definitely in drones , flying with no gravity would turn any organisms bones into mush
YES SAY IT LOUDER MY DUDE
"Unlikely" based on your extensive database of aliens visiting the earth from other planets vs other dimensions? Sounds legit.
He said they arent poking at cities or air craft carriers but what about the phoenix lights or the UFO's surrounding a aircraft carrier ie: multiple upside down rotating triangular craft
yes they sure are "poking around"! But maybe not actually poking very often
Crop circles are pretty impressive.
That was AWESOME!!!👍😁
This is all good and stuff, however, I can't imagine that we could comprehend, or even begin to understand what a alien, or interdimensional civilization would be planning. They may have even created humanity in some way that we haven't figured out, and I believe that this is a very strong possibility
If you break through on DMT you start to understand that as a reality. Or read the book "The Cosmic Serpent."
@@adamhurter6454 I will have to check that out!
@@adamhurter6454 good tip, thanks!
I believe the probability that I’m an alien or a mutant is pretty high. I’m very strange, even among autists I stand out as an autist and as a transwoman I stand out among the trans community. My energy levels are off the charts. Sometimes I’m a zombie staying in bed or at the computer for months when I don’t go to the bathroom, eat, buy food or sleep. Sometimes I’m dancing around in the street as if I was on speed.
Its more likely advanced civilization created humanity than God created it, yet look at all the loons who believe in God and yet no-one bats an eye-lid.
Although we can brain storm about these things, we could never know if these other beings would be as curious as us or as driven. It could be in their nature to just stick to themself and their immediate habitat. Would they see hear and feel the way we do? Still good probability that there are others out there, doubt they have visited us recently-possibly a few million years ago.
You doubt they would have visited us recently? So you just sweep away the heaps of evidence that they're here now?
My family and I saw these craft in the mid seventy's. They have been here for much longer than that maybe even thousands of years. I think if they were going to do something to harm us they would have done it by now. I wouldn't be surprised if they have been protecting us from dangers in space and against ourselves!
That's heavy man!!
Flight of the navigator nailed it.
I’ve been waiting for this conversation for months! For those who may not know, his math uses Bayes theorem. I wish he would also have had an electrical engineer to evaluate the graver video. What do they lock on to? How do they determine the distances and velocity and what might be explanations for failure? Ps- this make anyone else want to watch Third rock from the sun?
Seemingly Bob Lazar says they sit on chairs just like humans in the sport model. Ergo they like a bit of comfort and get tired. They also seemingly are humanoid in character. Interesting to say the least. So unless this life is just a simulation or a trip within a trip the whole alien disclosure both official and unofficial until now makes as much sense as mandatory vaccination for the "bad flu" in healthy populations.
What if the alien siblings didn't enforce policies (upon themselves) against being grabby, but rather had an innate disposition against being grabby? In that case, they might not be visiting us to ensure we don't become grabby.
This guest is impressively intelligent, and yet optimistic about this topic to the point of absurdity.
So humble.
He‘is one of them. Too nice and too much smiling 🤣
What if we live inside a giant empire without knowing it?
I just want them to be real so NDT can eat his own shorts
They are infact real, NDT is full of shit and stuck in his own reality, same as Mick West.
NDT was right tho
NDT is smarter than us so I’ll believe what he says over your conspiracy’s
It's from the Oblivion movie the TET Space Probe 🙂 or just something way easier to understand (videography glitches, filmed birds under various angles, etc)
Favorite guest
It's either Aliens, Our own Advanced Technology, or an Ancient Species or Civilization that was here on Earth before us. My guess is one of the last two.
I would say the last two are less likely. This tech is definitely not ours or any humans. It’s just too far advanced from what we even understand right now. If it’s an ancient civilization that’s been here longer than us I think we would have known this by now and we would have had much more contact with them. For me I think it is aliens and they are here to figure out are capabilities and they are deciding if we are worthy of contact with them.
Or some other reason requiring billions of dollars of defence contracts...
Or duck

If it is a kind of observation, what would be the threatening thing on planet Earth that absolutely must be observed?
-
A life form that is making rapid progress in understanding mathematics and learning to apply it technologically.
I think these are all very good points that have been discussed. I personally think it's the Occam's razor scenario. The most plausible explanation is likely what it is. They're trying to impress. This is perhaps a human construct but from the behavior exhibited by these objects it screams "Look at me" "Now you see me now you don't!"
Or the simple answer is they are just aliens, and they make alien mistakes:
"Glurburb, did you forget to engage the cloaking device again?"

I was not expecting this. When he started with the preamble, I was expecting him to go more Fermi’s Paradox, and theorize it wasn’t likely. This idea is completely new to me, and is very interesting!!
He’s a very original thinker.
Its always interesting to me when you hear about people talking about aliens or believing in aliens or the possibility of aliens as being "crazy" or put in this woo woo category. Or how people talk down to others when the concept of weird alien forms/bodies might exist, when, if you really think about it, the human form is just as strange and weird a form factor as anything else. I mean, we were once a hairy tunnel burrowing shrew like creature, frantically avoiding the giant reptillian monsters, until they left the scene, and eventually we evolved into monkeys and our brains developed. If that could happen and we eventually create spacecraft, I don't see why a reptillian form or some other crazy form, or a typical gray or whatever couldn't also become a spacefaring civilization. Its weird to me when people mock other people because they think some alien imagery seems silly to them. We're just as strange as anything else, really.
@@LawrenceReitan Mick west is a disingenuous douche that ignores evidence and twists words and truths. He's either a liar or an idiot. He's also pretty ignorant on the topic and doesn't know much of the evidence (or purposely ignores it) that supports the ET conclusion. I've listened to a few interviews with him and knowledgeable UFO guys who bring up famous incidents, where he appears to have zero knowledge of them. He doesn't know what he's talking about.
The topic has been intentionally and successfully ridiculed for many decades by people who retrieved alien technology years ago and want to keep it a secret. They want to have unprecedented technological and military advantage when they manage to fully reverse engineer it. One of the best ways to keep a secret is to effectively use the media to ridicule those who attempt to expose it. That's why terms like "conspiracy theorist" are so very popular.
this should be the top comment!
It's the endless speculation and infinite regression of all the subjects you mentioned which is truly silly.
You are particularly strange
Meanwhile in the school cafeteria, the jocks and cheerleaders laugh uncontrollably, while teasing the nerds w/ the Vulcan solute. Makes you realize how simple minded we’ve been. These are now legit conversations, powered by scientific anomalies that can’t be ignored. We live in what may be the most pivotal and transformative time the human species has ever experienced. I consider myself lucky. Cool stuff.
I need to remind myself of this more regularly with all the nonsense going on in the world.
This is one of the weakest, dumbest generations of mankind.
@@maxolcat1281 right?! Gotta find a silver lining somewhere lol
Fosho
There are alot of assumptions about how something we don’t know about thinks or might behave.
read "Childhood's End". Heinlein had a pretty solid view of the methodology behind Alien/Human interaction.
Just saw a UFO yestarday and got it on video , it is clear that it is something unexplanable , the sad part is that nobody in my circle cared , and when they looked they just looked and said " yeah its weird , hey what are you doing tonight" , my personal experience is that i felt like an ant looking at a giant feet and every ant around me didnt even realize what is going on right on top of us
Drop the vid or you bullshittin
Sorry to hear that bubba 😿
Cognitive dissonance
The reason for that has to do with identity. Something as taboo as life from outside earth visiting us conflicts with who they are as a person. This could be due to religious reasons or other personal beliefs. If something interferes with who they are as a person then it must be wrong or not real and will be dismissed. A light in the sky no matter how brilliant or extraordinary will simply be waved off. We need to continue to study this topic and find more evidence.
why aint ya uploaded it ?
This is brilliant 😁 What an idea! He makes it seem like the rational explanation 😮
Hijacking your comment!
VFX people (Corridor Crew) discuss the more likely explanations for US Gov's UFO/UAP footage:
1) th-cam.com/video/jHDlfIaBEqw/w-d-xo.html
2) th-cam.com/video/RrgQNwXIG_0/w-d-xo.html
Lense flairs, camera angles and perspectives in the footage resulting in what the US government released. I.e., probably not anything extraordinary - but not certainly of course. And also, weather balloons. Or aliens in weather ballons!👽
Yeah send him more money so he can make up more stories about Star Wars
For truly informed UFO-related information and perspective, check out Richard Dolan's TH-cam channel or his book "UFO's and the National Security State."
Precisely why it's entirely wrong.
Honestly, the leaps and human centered rationale in his arguments are ridiculous imho.
@@Prod-23 I think you should check out his main theory about aliens to know why he is explaining UFO's like this.
I think it is based on the assumption that, if UFO's are aliens, then they are not an galactic civilisation. If they were an galactic civilization there would be a lot more astronomy data about them.
If we assume that it is unlikely for a space travelling civilization to not eventually become a galactic civilization, then the explanation for why they (a space travelling civilization) have not become a galactic civilization must be at least equally as unlikely.
At the 10 minute point my head exploded
19:00
Nice comeback Lex 😎
I believe that it is possible an outside source could be preventing contact , not necessarily the extraterrestrials themselves, if that makes sense

One thing I try to remind myself of that I rarely hear discussed or speculated about, is the idea of their potential advanced technology and the idea of masking or camouflaging themselves. And I don't just mean themselves or their ships, but also their world. If they're here, and lets just say for this example they've been here a long time. Maybe they've been watching us for thousands of years. Maybe this is some experiment, whatever the reason is, maybe they know eventually we're going to reach a certain level of technology and they don't want their presence known. This could be for a number of reasons. Who's to say they don't have some kind of technology at play, that is masking the signature of their planet. Maybe to our tech and sensors, they're doing something so that when we look at their planet, on the various spectrum it appears as something that it isn't. Looks like a normal uninteresting, boring planet, when in fact its a highly advanced populated civilization. I just think, we're being somewhat arrogant, or premature when we say, nothings out there, or choose not to believe aliens exist or make this or that statement regarding statistics, when there could be technologies that allow them to hide from us. An advanced alien version of holding a picture up to a camera to fake a video feed if you will.
Judging the interactions these craft have with our military… they’re not hiding. It’s actually the opposite. Many times they’re provocative. They’ll hover & follow in plain sight. Knowing the aircraft carriers can see them. They’ll linger in entry points for aircraft exercises. An area in the sky ALL fighter jets have to pass through. They’ve interacted with nuclear weapons. Jammed radar signals. They are clearly communicating “look at me, I’m here. You’re most protected nuclear treasures are my toys. I know what you’re doing. I know where you’re going. Come check me out”. Then the military scrambles jets to investigate. They interact for a very short time. And disappear. They’re not hiding. They’re playing with us. Displaying their superiority and vanishing. Why? I have no idea. I don’t think anyone has an idea. But they’re clearly not here to help us. We dropped 2 atomic bombs on Japan and they watched. Their motives aren’t clear at the moment.
Maybe they are interdimensional
@@nkyryry Well, their not hostile..thats for sure. They have been watching us for hundreds of years, probably a lot longer. Maybe it's exploration or tourism or just plain curiosity. But i think they are following a strict rule, never to contact us. And i am quite sure that would be devastating for us if we did get a hold of their technology(looking at how we treat our earth and everything else on it...and they know.)
@@Mads-hl8xj a 40 ft long tic-tac dropping in from 80,000 ft to sea level in a second.. hovering over the ocean.. interacting with military jets.. then disappearing and reappearing 60 miles away at their secret rendezvous point…. Is contact. That’s not only contact, it’s communication. It communicated it was here just by showing up. These things are well aware they’re being seen on radar. Then it communicated it was intelligent by noticing and reacting to the fighter jets. Then it communicated superior intelligence by showing up at the CAP point it couldn’t have known about. They’re making themselves known. And they’re proving their point.
@@oggyoggy1299 right because we know what advanced alien technology is capable of. Just because it sounds like nonsense to you, doesn't mean it isn't possible. Maybe you don't have a good imagination that would allow you the ability to imagine how it might be possible. Or at least allow you the humility to acknowledge that there could be things that are possible that would seem fantastical or magical with our current understanding of physics and engineering.
Apparently the term "stellar nursery" is new to Lex's lexicon.
They could be alien unmanned scout drones
shouldn't beings from stars formed in the same nursery, also be similar to us as well then? We would all be made of relatively the same composition of star dust, so we may even evolve similarly
No, because what is being conjectured here is primitive single-celled life being deposited either on the planets or more likely in the close planetary environments, which then separated as their respective suns drifted apart. Evolution from these primitive life-forms would produce little similarities, apart from traits like atmospheric flight, life in the sea, and on land, plus viruses and bacteria and parasites, all different from one another on the different planets. There need be no resemblance between these intelligent aliens and humans. Although, likely intelligence and tool-making don't work too well underwater, at least on Earth. What they might have in common would be some form of DNA.
@@mauricegold9377 Thank you for the comment. I find all of this extremely interesting
Also apparently “real” a long time before “proof” : sea Krakkens, rocks falling from space, ball lightning, rogue waves…
I like a concept like "panspermia siblings." However, the Nimitz "sightings" are terrible examples. Feels more like a U.S. attempt at fear tactics rather than cousins from space. There appears to be a thought that new plasma technologies allow for the creation of temporary physical balls in the sky (creating plasma in the air). You could in effect "print" objects with plasma beams into the sky.
Technology sufficiently high probably means you dont necessarily need to go grabbing and converting matter from raw materials. Perhaps everythung can already be converted, recycled, etc.
Panspermia is a very real possibility. I think there are craft traveling here from all over the universe. I think intelligent life would just be interested in seeing planets and life across the universe. Much like how we find it interesting to explore life/habitats/ecosystems on earth and discover new species, they do the same on a universal scale.
There is so many holes in this “hypothesis” if that’s what we’re calling it.
Yeah, idk why he is so focused on expansion limit? if we barely know about their existence why set such rigid hypothesis that they are hereto limit us, makes no sense
@@Timo_Adventures what I understood is that the limit on expansion is the only thing that would allow the possibility that we humans evolved, if they were expansionist or allow some other species to be expansionist then our planet would have been colonised and we wouldnt exists in the way we do.
Of course all of this is highly especulative because we couldn't possible know for sure what are their motives and capabilities, we dont even know if the ufos are indeed aliens
Nah. It's a podcast
Hypotheses ROCK as long as they are humbly offered and not sold as conclusions (or over-amplified with ego and persuasion; e.g., OrchOR and magical mictrotubule "quantum consciousness"). Every great and powerful theory started off as a wobbly hypothesis somewhere. They are how we got from there to here.
Ok then what is your hypothesis?
Presumptions upon presumptions with a smug confidence of no presumption.
I love this GUY!
I was a career soldier. I left active duty in March, 2014, and also graduated with an MBA the same month. My life was ending in one regard and beginning in the same motion. The only contention was the economy. Getting out of the service was a little scary facing the uncertainty so I applied to jobs with no luck for the next few months until my unemployment checks ran out. No luck at all. Hundreds of resumes and no calls or interviews that didn't lead to any offers. I was in a bad place mentally. Depression kicked in pretty hard and I felt like suicide was the answer as I still had my military life insurance and I thought the money was better for my family then me being jobless.
Now, here if you pay attention, is the steps to ego death. I began a process of looking back through my life as I sat there in my basement with my loaded AR15 in front of me. I was a family man, having raised three kids and was a well accomplished soldier. The more I looked over my life, the angrier I got. Until, finally I yelled out, "God, why have you forsaken me". Tears were rolling down my cheeks and I immediately felt a warmth in my body and I could feel a presence with me. I felt my tears being wiped from my face and the warmth began to spread to my spine. Here it traveled up to my head and my head began to tingle. Instantly I was propelled into a series of visions. I was looking at myself in my past. I was shown my life in key moments and was able to view my thoughts as well as the thoughts of others at the same exact time. In doing so, I was able to see that whenever people come together and there is an interaction, both parties always rationalize their choice of words and their actions are rationalized to the same degree. I looked out the window from my basement and in the distance I could see a brilliant white orb in the sky that then disappeared into the clouds.
For the next three days, I was at peace with the universe. I seemed to be connected to something as any question I would ask myself, I would get an answer pop up in my head that would be very convincing. I sat there and wrote a book for the first two days. On day three, I had a thought about camping, and when I went to wake my wife up, the first thing she says is that she had a dream about us camping. I saw this as a sign and said to her, "Let's go today". So, that is what we did. Without a plan, just went to Wal-Mart and bought sleeping bags, a tent, and all the items we thought we would need and headed towards Mount Rainier.
Now, we must have stopped at three campsites before we got to the entrance to Mount Rainier National Park. They were all booked up and had no vacancies. The park had two campsites so it was our last hope. After stopping at the kiosk at the entrance to the campsite we had to drive around the park to see if we could find a site that did not have a reservation on it. After an hour of driving, we could not find one open spot. Giving up, we started driving for the exit. All of the sudden, a park ranger steps out on the road in front of us. We slow down and ask him if all the spots are booked up and he replies yes they are sold out. I then ask where I need to go to get a refund as I paid at the kiosk. He told me to stop at a shed near the entrance. We stop, I get out and go up and process the refund. The guy behind the counter stops me as I begin to walk away after the refund is complete. He says, "Hey, we have some primitive campsites outside of the park that are free if you are interested". I look on the map he shows me, and my wife agrees that we came to camp so camping is what we are going to do.
Now, as we pull in to this primitive campsite off the grid, we are alone. It is right next to a river and I ask my wife if it looked like her dream and she replied, "yes this is exactly what my dream looked like". I felt as if I was going to receive a message sometime during our trip, but nothing could prepare me for the events that would take place that night.
So, around 10:00pm me and my wife decide to lay down. The kids were already sleeping, so we both got into our sleeping bags and were looking straight up in the sky as you could see the sky through the top of the tent which had that mosquito netting allowing for a perfect view of the night sky. As we watched, a brilliantly lit, white sphere went right over the top of us, a few hundred feet above the trees. It made no sound but was quite the sight to see. I looked at my wife and said, "What was that", to her reply "I am going to bed". I got out of the tent as fast as I could and by the time I got out to look for the object, it was gone. I tried staying up for another hour keeping the fire going, but nothing unusual happened. Finally, I returned to the tent and went to sleep. I do not know how long I was asleep, but the next thing I know, my wife is waking me up saying she hears two people talking behind the tent. I stand up and look around knowing that people would need flashlights to navigate the forest and did not hear anything or anyone. I asked her "Are you sure", to her reply "Yes", and my son chimes in and confirms that he heard them too. So, now everyone is spooked and we all went to the car to sleep out the rest of the night.
I waited for my family to fall asleep and looked at the clock just before I fell asleep that read 12:00. As soon as I sleep I am propelled into this extremely vivid dream. It is me, I am on all fours in a sort of praying position and in front of me I can see legs and feet. The being in front of me is large, I would say twice my size. The skin is blue and hairless. I attempt to look up to see who is in front of me and something is restraining me from looking up too far. I ask the being, "Who are you"? The being responds, but the way in which it responds is telepathically. I can see these illuminated golden symbols pass through my mind and I catch myself mimicking what is being conveyed as I utter the word "God". I asked it, "Why have you brought me here"?
Instantly I was propelled into a vision where I see a woman and two children in a horrific scene. They are huddled in the corner of a kitchen as the scene spans out I can see that the building their in has been bombed. The vision keeps spanning out as I get a clearer picture of what is transpiring and I see tanks down the road approaching the house with the woman and children in. There are soldiers walking next to the tanks wearing gas masks. The scene spans out to the entire globe and I see the explosions from bombs all over the place. I came out of the vision crying. I said, "I don't understand". Here a shorter vision is shown where I see the same type of illuminated orbs that I saw the night before coming off the planet while it was still calm. I took this vision as some people will be saved before the end.
I tell the being, "I do not understand", and am put in another vision. This time I can see that I am in Jerusalem. Only war has already hit here as the buildings are blown up and the entire city seems deserted. I see me then I am put in first person view where I start walking down a path. This path leads to a wall. Along the wall there is a giant green door. I walk up to the door and knock on it three times. A man dressed in all black with a black beard answers. I lift up my left hand and show him an olive tree branch and say, "I come in peace, may I enter". He steps aside and says, "Yes, we have been awaiting you". He then leads me to the dome of the rock and then takes me in the building down to the basement. Here the bedrock is exposed and he bends down to gesture for me to inspect some of the rock that seemed discolored. I reach down to touch the rock and the entire vision goes white. I am then back in front of the blue being, more confused than ever. I shake my head and say, "I do not understand, who am I". The being then shows me with it's hands, a hologram of a headshot of Jesus with a crown of thorns. I shake my head at it and say, "I don't understand", to which the hologram morphs into a reflection of me and I am looking at myself. The dream ends with a bright white light and I wake up in the car. The time reads 4:00.
I look out my car window and the same orb UFO from the night before is there a few thousand feet above me. It moves to the top of Mount Rainier, hovers, and just as I was about to wake my wife to show her it returned, it shoots straight up in the air like a bullet out of a gun. We pack up the car and left from camping shortly afterwards. I told my wife about the dream on the way back home. Now, I was atheist before this encounter and came out with more questions. This drove me to study and learn and that is exactly what I have been doing for the years since. I know who they are now. They are the shining ones. I have written threads on the subject matter, but make no mistake, these beings are here, they watch us, and there are things at stake in this life. Your soul being one of them...
Wow...I need time to process this...
Lol

Thank you for sharing this experience. Never understood why the holy scriptures, doctrines, and dreams for that matter are so allegorical, mysterious and not clear.
But do you think the message was ? ?
Maybe they (the aliens) can’t help unless we ask? Has any governing body or country ever formally asked for help ?
Definitely true would be guardian angels
i'll do it, for the love of god please aliens save us from ourselves
'They would reveal something about themselves that we would hate'... never thought of that angle. Neat.
If conversations like this took place just a decade ago then those people would be considered weird or crazy. But the past few years it actually feels okay to talk about UFO’s and aliens. The negative stigma of believing and talking about aliens is going away finally. I love it.
People like myself have been having conversations like this for over 30 years. it’s just that the mainstream is just catching up to the conversation!
